School | 3 Reasons School Uniforms Are Easier
Say the term “school uniform” too loudly and you’re sure to see your child cringe when you’re on your way to stores like JCPenney or The Children’s Place to pick out the bits. Though your child may not be excited at first about the new wardrobe requirements, here are three reasons to help your child understand why uniforms are an easier choice.
1. Everyone Dresses the Same
Most children have experienced the bullies who make fun of them or their peers for being different, so this is a compelling argument for your child. Making everyone dress the same removes a potential layer for bullying. When everyone dresses the same, there is no way to tell whose family has a larger budget for clothes.
2. You Can Sleep Later
Here’s an argument that works for the kids and the parents. When you already know what you’re going to wear everyday, you don’t have to get up nearly as early as you would have to if you wore something different each day. Knowing your outfit in advance makes planning easier and allows for more time to be spent elsewhere in the morning.
3. You Can Still Be an Individual
Express to your child that he can still choose his own shoes and style accessories. This way your child still has an outlet for personal style. This is very important to young girls.

I LOVE the idea of school uniforms. I have been told by people who are working with kids to try to prevent them from joining street gangs and so forth that school uniforms – especially in elementary school – would greatly help in that effort. They say that jealousy and bullying issues are often centered around particular status attire and that uniforms would nip that in the bud.

School uniforms.
My decision is school uniforms would be good and bad.
No because, recess they would get dirty and it would not look good. Some people might not like to pay for expensive shirts.
It would look nice I think because we would know what school we are from. Another thing it would be nice because some people don’t dress nice like they should.
So my decision is no for the school uniforms. Now you know what my decision for the school uniforms.

If the father feels he needs to contribute a little more for school shopping he can, but I would not buy it all and make the child pack it home on the plane. He can send the mother additional funds with his monthly support if he wants to. I do not think this is a "requirement" for fathers. The monthly child support should be more than enough to cover those expenses. When all else fails, follow the child support order. If it states he must contribute to the school supplies in addition to the monthly support, then he must. If it is not mentioned, then the mother is on her own.

Veroncia, who exactly are you addressing when you say “what rocks are Americans living under re: school uniforms?” I think most Americans are more than aware how prevalent school uniforms are here in the states, and a few have commented on the fact that they are most common in private schools. I don't see anyone here confused about school uniforms as you seem to be implying, but commenting on the differences between Caspar's dapper uniform and the more common slacks/polo combo in the private schools of the US.
